Thai style resort life
Expect a quieter atmosphere than FIVE or Atlantis, with lagoon pools, a beach, a spa and Asian influenced dining. It suits honeymooners and families with young children who want space and calm.
Getting around
Crescent Road East is on the Palm’s outer ring, so allow time to reach the rest of Dubai: around 20 to 30 minutes to Dubai Marina or Mall of the Emirates by car.
Cost and monthly payments
Five star stays in Dubai carry a nightly AED 20 Tourism Dirham, and taxes apply too, so compare totals rather than headline rates. Residence rooms are the entry point; overwater villas cost much more. A two night stay at AED 2,400 in total is AED 400 a month over 6 months on Tabby, and villas can be spread over 12 months. See our pay later hotels guide, or compare with FIVE Palm for a livelier stay.
